lmao dont know why but i genuinely cant land it lol its so unstable during a landing or maybe its just me
Truly one if the planes of all times, it's very balanced between details & performance (you can easily get
10~15 more fps then other builds with same parts number), also i love the cockpit
Amazing job!
@Khichi2866 think it would be cool!
@FairFireFlight I want to host a challenge only between moderators. What do you think?
Excellent 10/10
throttle valve doesn’t work on vr. wonky is an understatement. great build otherwise
Best plane I’ve probably seen. Ever
@FairFireFlight dang that is really impressive how close in figure that is, sorry to bother
@Kazin no his build is an entire scratch-build
@FairFireFlight Hey, did RicardoACE copy your aircraft without mentioning you?
what block is this?
mamma mia
@FairFireFlight Based
@OperatorLeaf The reason these Air Force planes are fitted with a tailhook is not so that they can land on an aircraft carrier. The hooks are instead used during emergency landings when the aircraft's brakes have failed or it has suffered structural damage that may make it difficult to keep the nose pointed down the runway during landing. The tailhook is also used during aborted takeoffs if there is any concern that the plane cannot stop on the length of runway remaining. Most runways at Air Force and other military bases, as well as some civilian fields, are equipped with crash barriers towards the end of the runway or sometimes in the middle. These barriers usually consist of thick cables similar to those used on Navy aircraft carriers.
Why does this have Arresting Hook?
@Quichenic no
@gaspardbotbol select the gun change the ammo number to 10000000
@fairfireflight can i repost your aircraft with added modifications with tag ofcourse
Modificantions: added a 3rd fuel tank, increased engine performance, 2 AIM-120C AMRAAMS, changed flare intervals, added aim 120c to the weapons display, changed the gun name to m61A1 vulcan, added an master arm for the weapons
@gaspardbotbol ya don't.
@FairFireFlight how can I chose the amount of gun ammo I have and how can I have unlimited ammo ?
@MikuisNOTaboi go ahead
@Rakoval500k Block 5, and it shouldn't have SARH missiles.
Greetings! Could you please elaborate what "block" of F-16a is it exactly? Is that a block 15 ADF?
@Quichenic i can but that would just be milking it, so no
